The Contributions of Age Related Changes in the Sound Localization Pathway to Central Hearing Loss
Age-related hearing loss, presbycusis, affects up to 50% of American adults. There are two main causes for presbycusis: 1) Progressive death of hair cells in the inner ear, and 2) Central hearing loss, or the reduced ability to decipher the sound source of interest from other competing sounds in a …
Hearing Impairment in Children: Pupillometry and Hearing Thresholds Assessment
The results of the previous study on auditory effort in young children with cochlear implants show that pupils respond to the presence or the absence of the perceived stimuli. The investigators hypothesize that the perceived sounds will elicit increased pupil dilation compared to the non-perceived sounds and that the hearing …
AChild - Austrian Children With Hearing Impairment - Longitudinal Database
There is high variability in outcomes in children with hearing impairment. Existing literature focus mainly on subpopulations (children with hearing aids, children with CI) and is usually not epidemiological. Often children with additional needs (intellectual disability, visual impairment, autism spectrum disorder, complex syndromes) are excluded from the studies. This subgroup …
The Value Electrical Stapedial Reflex Thresholds (eSRTs) Cochlear Implant Mapping
One of the most significant challenges in cochlear implant programming, particularly for very young children and those with an associated pathologies, is the measurement of subjective comfort levels (= C-Subjective). Currently, to define this C-Subjective level, patients are presented with a loudness scale and must indicate whether the sound stimulus, …
Development Cellular Models of the Ear and Nose to Study the Mechanisms of Hearing
Development of cells culturesissued from Nose and Ear to study auditory mecanisms. Study of the cis-Modulation of the gene GJB2 for the patients with early presbycusis to identify the genetic cause of hearing loss.
